Battery Manufacturing EquipmentHigh-vacuum cell drying oven
TIME's high-vacuum cell drying oven bakes pouch and aluminium-shell prismatic cells before filling, using contact or radiation heating. TIME lists a 24-hour leakage value of at most 200 Pa on an absolute-pressure basis, adjustable trays, several temperature-control set-ups and a data-output interface reserved for upgrades.
Cell types, heating and the 200 Pa figure
TIME's page covers baking of pouch cells and aluminium-shell prismatic cells, with either contact or radiation heating. It gives a 24-hour leakage value of at most 200 Pa, on an absolute-pressure basis. A pressure change over a set time is a different unit from Pa·L/s. Ask for the chamber volume, the starting conditions and the exact pressure-rise test method before comparing it with another maker's leak-rate figure.
The oven has adjustable trays, a choice of temperature-control set-ups and a data-output interface reserved for later upgrades. The page gives no chamber capacity and no cell-moisture endpoint, so ask for both with your cell. TIME also makes an energy-saving comparison; ask for the trial conditions and baseline behind it.
| Parameter | Published value | Record status |
|---|---|---|
| Heating options | Contact heating or thermal radiation | known |
| Published 24-hour leakage value | ≤200 Pa; supplier states absolute-pressure basis | known |
| Automation interfaces | Loading, automatic handling and cooling equipment | known |
Catalogue values apply to the configuration and test method the maker states. Ask for the values that apply to your configuration.

Tie drying results to loaded cells and transfer
Send the cell dimensions, tray loading, incoming moisture and your final moisture limit. Ask where temperatures are measured and how core temperature in a cell relates to the chamber reading. Agree the moisture sampling and release procedure for each loaded batch.
For automatic operation, list the loading, transport and cooling equipment as separate items. Check access for adjusting trays, the handling of an interrupted cycle and how dried cells are protected before the next step. The data interface is reserved for upgrades, so specify any plant connection you need now and have it commissioned.

An empty-chamber hold test and a loaded drying run
Ask for the vacuum-hold procedure behind the published figure: the chamber condition, the measuring points and how temperature and outgassing are handled. Keep the original pressure and time units. A leak rate in Pa·L/s needs its own defined test, so request that test separately if your specification uses it.
For drying acceptance, use the proposed tray layout and loading pattern with suitable representative cells. Agree the temperature-mapping and moisture-sampling method, and tag each sample with its position and cycle history. Log door openings, loading time and an approved interruption and recovery sequence, because each affects the delivered process. Ask for current oven drawings and handover instructions. This keeps vacuum tightness and drying result as two separate acceptance items, each with its own record.
TIME's profile describes the logistics and cleaning equipment that can be combined with the oven.

Questions that change the purchase
| Decision | What the catalogue says | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| What does the vacuum-hold entry tell you? | The page gives at most 200 Pa over 24 hours, absolute pressure, with no Pa·L/s figure. | Ask for the method, chamber condition and acceptance record. |
| Will the loaded product dry consistently? | The page gives no cell-moisture endpoint or tray temperature data. | Agree loaded mapping, endpoint sampling and cycle recovery. |
Equipment questions
Is ≤200 Pa a volumetric leak rate?
No. It is a 24-hour value in Pa. Converting it to Pa·L/s needs the test definition and the chamber volume, so ask TIME for both.
Source s2Does the Shenzhen application list certify this oven?
No. It names the company and a product category in an award application. Ask for current certificates, and accept the oven on a loaded process test.
